Hustling my way through life
So i have added the Be My Friend Widget on the side of the blog. So it would be greatly appreciated if you would like to be my Friend =) lol. Anyways Yeah if you want to add me up feel free to do so.
So I had some time on my hand and thought I would work on a new look for the Blog. Let me know what you guys think.
So I got an email from Blog Rush today and Guess what? They are shutting down. I am going to copy and paste the email here.
After careful consideration, we have decided to shutdown the BlogRush service. If you have the widget code on your blog you will need to remove it.
When BlogRush launched in late-2007 it spread like wildfire all over the Web. Thousands of bloggers were talking about it and the service exploded to become one of the fastest growing free services in the history of the Web. During the first year of the service it successfully served 3.4 Billion blog post headlines and the BlogRush widget could be found on blogs all over the world; even up until the moment we closed down the service.
BlogRush didn’t grow without its fair share of problems — from security issues to abusive users trying to ‘game’ the system to much lower click-rates than expected. We also had some problems with trying to fairly control the quality of the network, and in the process made many mistakes in deciding what blogs should stay or go. All of these issues, ultimately, limited the service’s full potential.
Our team worked very hard to try and build a service that would truly help bloggers of all sizes get free traffic to their blogs. This was our primary focus. Not once did we ever try to monetize the service with ads or anything else. BlogRush never made a single penny in revenue. We wanted to be able to help our users FIRST and then worry about monetizing the service later. Unfortunately, the service didn’t work out like we had hoped. (It happens.)
I want to say “Thank You” to all of the great bloggers that at least gave BlogRush a test to see if it would work for them. We sincerely appreciate you giving the service a try.
We have received several offers & inquiries about acquiring BlogRush, but we are choosing not to go that route. While many might think this is crazy, we truly feel it’s the ‘right’ thing to do for our users. Believe it or not, it’s not always about the money. In fact, BlogRush will have lost a small fortune when it’s all said and done, and it was by choice. There were many things we could have done to monetize the service but we wanted to make sure it was going to benefit our users first.
Last but not least I want to say that I hope the failure of this service doesn’t in any way discourage other entrepreneurs from coming up with crazy ideas at 4AM (like I did with this one) and from “going for it” to just try and see if something will work. Without trying there can be no success. And as we all know, ideas are worthless without action. The Web wouldn’t be what it is today without entrepreneurs trying all sorts of crazy ideas.
On behalf of the entire BlogRush team, we wish the best of luck to everyone with their own blogs, ideas, and crazy ventures.
Sincerely,
John Reese

So I just bumped into a website which basically shows where your user name is registered. Showing you about 50 websites where it could be registered such as facebook, gmail, youtube, digg, and so on. Majory of them I have no clue as i never heard about them. But Great website give it a try http://www.usernamecheck.com/
I was pretty shocked gas price dropped less then a dollar. I never really thought it was going to drop this low after it went more then a 1.30 I was thinking of filling another full tank of gas but then I thought to myself what if the gas price drops again, so I am going to a risk of waiting for the gas prices to drop a bit more if it does not i guess I will feel stupid but hey I like taking chances.
Its about 1:30 AM I have played with Window Movie Maker before but it was basically for adding titles and so on. So I had nothing to do, I have seen people make the HOW CAN SHE SLAP video REMIX so I thought I might as well give it a try and let see how it goes… So I did it give it a try and this is how it went…
So I have been working on an E-book for the past 2 weeks. It’s almost done just reviewing and getting it edited it out from my friends and family due to my horrible English grammar. Don’t want to make a disappointment for people reading an E-book full of grammatical mistakes. So the E-book is basically how to sell online from domain registration to how to market online. As many of you know I have operated a few Online Stores all with success went great so why not write an E-book and sell it on ClickBank? I might be able to make some money out of it. Who knows, I might be even giving away free E-Book to Readers of my Blog. But most of the advice I am giving on the E-book I am going to give it on this Blog with more depth and examples. So keep in Tuned.
